Lincoln Sentinel
The Lincoln Sentinel is a 4-door luxury sedan concept car designed by Ford's Dearborn Advanced studio. It debuted at the 1996 North American International Auto Show.
Design
Ford says the Sentinel aimed to blend their New Edge design language with classic Lincoln styling themes, with the design of the Sentinel taking inspiration from past Continental models. The grille resembles a modernized version of the grille on the original Continental, while the uncluttered bodysides and suicide doors are inspired by the 1961 Continental. The concept uses a gloss black paint and features tinted windows, and three-tier vertical headlights at the front and the rear. It rides on 20-inch wheels. Rear-view cameras are used in place of traditional mirrors, and in place of traditional door handles are flush door handles.The interior was designed by Ghia.
The grille of the Sentinel concept inspired the grille on the Lincoln MKX.
